- Here's my modified version of vm-move-mail, with a chown to fix the ownership
- of folders when I'm "su root". Note that I'm running VM 4.41, so vm-move-mail
- could have changed substantially (or even disappeared!).
-
- (defun vm-move-mail (source destination)
- (let ((dest (expand-file-name destination)))
- (call-process "movemail" nil nil nil (expand-file-name source) dest)
- (if (eq (user-uid) 0)
- (call-process "chown" nil nil nil (user-login-name) dest))))
